Of course it's possible (and not hard) to re-use them -- I mean that from my perspective they were not meant to be public API, nor does the documentation or the package description express that. So I didn't think twice to move them. Anyway, you and Ian disagree.

The others use autopkgtest/adt-run, not adt-virt*. So piuparts is only marginally affected, the others not at all.
